Hi! I'm Nicolas Shelton, a writer & graphic artist here at Boldmethod!
I started flying while I was a senior in high school and got my Private Pilot's license a month after graduating. I learned to fly in the small (yet forgiving) Cessna 152. These days I mostly fly Piper Archer Tx's, Warriors, Arrows, and Seminoles.
I am currently attending Purdue University, where I am majoring in Professional Flight & minoring in Atmospheric Science. Outside of my classes, I am involved with many student organizations on campus and enjoy film-making in my free time.
I have ambitions of becoming an airline pilot later on in my career, but will always be deeply involved in general aviation.
We sat down with National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Scott Entrekin of the Boulder, Colorado office to discuss why the winds seem to pick up during certain seasons, leaving you stuck on the ground.
Whether you're brushing up on the basics before your next flight review, or you're just starting out, knowing how your engine turns your prop is a must-know.
At the surface, freezing drizzle might seem like just a smaller version of freezing rain. While this may be true in some ways, the process that forms each is different.
